SIX AND EIGHTPENCE. 



Scene. — An office with doors r. atid l. and cetitre 
opening. 

Cyril, {heard outside L.) I must see Mr. Crook at 
once — most important. Oh, Mr. Crook's engaged, is he ? 
Very well, I'll wait in Mr. Hook's room till Mr. Crook's 
disengaged. (Cyril enters looking off) What a crowd 
waiting to see the great man ! One, two, three, four 
clients before me, and one of them a woman. She 
counts for three, that makes six. Well, I must wait. 
Patience ! I ought to have learnt patience after six 
months' trial. Yes, I have been married six months, but 
rii stand it no longer. Hook married me — now I've come 
to Crook for a judicial separation ; married by Hook, 
divorced by Crook. Well, if men will go in for luxuries, 
they aiust pay for them. Yes, marriage is a luxury which 
makes divorce a necessity. Wheugh ! I feel very awk- 
ward, I almost wish I hadn't come—it's like having one's 
photograph taken— or a tooth drawn. Now let me see 
how shall I begin, when I see the great man. Nothing 
like a plain statement. "Sir," — that's a good beginning. 
Dr. Johnson always began with "Sir." It carries convic- 
tion, {brings down small chair from back and addresses 
if) "Sir, I ask your advice as a lawyer ; as a man of the 
world ; knowing as few do the trials of married life — I 
believe you are a married man yourself? I thought so. 
A year ago I was a young man, my temper was good, my 
disposition was excellent, my appearance was — interesting. 
Behold me now ! I made a fool of myself. How did it 
happen ? In this way : I became involved in matrimony ; 
one broiling day as I was wandering down Piccadilly, 
longing for a breath of fresh air, my notice was attracted 
by the figure of an ultramarine Venus on a hoarding. I 
always had a weakness for Venuses. {smirks) How 
cool, how tempting she looked ! I gazed, and read ; ' To 
Slocumville-on-Sea and back for five sliillings — cooling

breezes, miles of sands, piers, bands, casinos, donkey 
rides.' That did it. That night ere gentle sleep the 
urchin's eyelids kissed, I was eating prawns at the Grand 
Hotel, Slocumville-on-Sea. A month afterwards some 
friends, who had been vainly searching for me in the 
agony column of the Ti/nes telegraphed to London 
that my body had been found. ^ I was married ! {despair- 
ingly) The corps de ballet went into black skirts, and the 
noble army of mourning mashers carried their sticks half 
mast high. I was married ! What escape is there for a 
susceptible young man at the seaside ? He is doomed be- 
forehand. Pigeon shooting is fair sport compared to it. 
There is something in the intoxicating influence of zoedone 
— ozone — the long path of moonlight on the waters, the 
strains of the German band mellowed by distance. There 
is something in the subtle perfume of shellfish that is 
fatal. What can a man do but fall in love ? We met ; it 
was love at first sight. Oh, that men were gifted with 
second sight on these occasions ! I thought lier an angel 
— how could I tell that she was the very — reverse ! I 
dreamed of an ideal existence — a wandering Arab life on 
the sands--sharing with her I loved a semi-detached bath- 
ing machine. I'm not sure even now that the idea hasn't 
its advantage, moderate rent, no taxes, plenty of ventila- 
tion." {talct's up Times oil table. Business uncut, with 
three holes, well pricked {close) with pinholes so that 
on throwing it over head he pushes his finger violently 
through and sees through eyeholes and pushes his nose 
through bottom hole) Well, I suppose I shall have to 
wait another hour, {reading) " Court of Probate and 
Divorce," " Billing versus Billing and Cohen." Ahem ! 

" Turtle versus Turtle. This Tvas a suit " Oh ! ! ! — 

a suit instituted by the husband — incompatibility of tem- 
per — -just my case — let's see. (reads, 7'ery interested) 

Grace enters L. 

Grace, Oh ! I'm so frightened, I almost wish I hadn't 
come ! Suppose my husband has seen and followed me ; 
but, as if he could recognize me under this tliick veil — 
and — as if it mattered if he did, now that I have made up 
my mind to leave him forever. That gentleman behind 
the paper is Mr. Crook, I suppose. I'm afraid to interrupt 
him. Ahem 1 

CVRiL. {jiot having heanl her come in, looks up) So ! 



SIX AND EIGHTPENCE. 5 

Another lady ! Crook seems to have a large connection 
among ladies. (Grace a little frighte7ied goes towards 
door) Rather a pretty figure ! I wish she would lift her 
veil. Neat turn of the head ; rather like Grace's before 
I married her ! Heigho ! Very like Grace's before I mar- 
ried her ! {reads paper again) 

Grace. I beg your pardon, sir. {takes offz/eil. Her 
veil is thick and fastened with large pin which can 
easily be found and pulled out) Are you Mr. 

Cyril, {starting) My wife ! {is just opening paper 
to turn it, and throws it over his head. It completely 
covers him) 

Grace. I said, are you Mr. Crook ? {sharply) 

Cyril, {recovering himself, in feigned voice) Yes, 
madam ! 

Grace. What an odd manner ! I wish more than ever 
that I hadn't come. I have a letter of introduction to you 
from Mr. Bayswater Jones. 

Cyril, {startitig) Bayswater Jones ! 

Grace. You know Mr. Bayswater Jones, I believe ? 
{startled, starittg at the holes in paper) 

Cyril, {aside) Rather, considering it was Mr. Bays- 
water Jones to whom I confided my connubial woes, antl 
who recommended me to come to Mr. Crook. 

Grace. Mr. Bayswater Jones kindly recommended 
me to come to you in my present trouble. 

Cyril. Bayswater Jones, {rises) How dare he ? 
{rages) 

Grace. I beg your pardon ? 

Cyril. Nothing ! Go on, madam ! {sits) 

Grace. They say one should liide nothing from one's 
liwyer or one's doctor. So, I will tell you everything. I 
have only been married six months, and I need scarcely 
tell you how unhappy I have been. I think if you only 
knew what a life mine has been 

Cyril. Hang it all ! {rises) 

Grace. I beg your pardon ? 

Cyril. Nothing ; go on. {sits, groans) 

Grace. About six months ago — for my sins, I suppose 
— mamma took me down to Slocumville-on-Sea, and there 
we became acquainted with a gentleman, who fell in love 
with me at first sight. And I rather liked him. I don't 
know why, I'm sure, for he was by no means good-look- 
insf. 



6 SIX AND EIGHTPENCE. 

Cyril, {stariing up) Ah ! 

Grace. I think what first won my heart was his kind- 
ness to mamma. He would carry her books, her parasol, 
her poodle, and her bathing costume, all at once. And I 
thought if he is so kind to mamma before marriage what 
will he not be to me after ? Alas ! I was mistaken, and 

so, before we have been married six months I come to 

{rises, wJiinipering) Oh ! I can't do it even now, when 
it's such a fine day, and Cyril and I might be wandering 
on the beach, as we used to in the dear olden days. Oh ! if 
he were not so bad tempered. (" so bad tempered" three 
times, with a loud vixenish scream at the end. Stamps 
her foot. At this point Grace has her back turned. 
Cyril tries to steal towards door, covering himself with 
paper. Is arrested by stamp of her foot, and resumes 
his seat) I really wonder why they print wedding 
cards in silver ; it would be ever so much better if they had 
a great black edge round them, and printed on them, " In 
loving memory of Miss So-and-so, on the occasion of her 
marriage to Mr. So-and-so," and, '• Friends will please 
accept this intimation," with a little R. I. P. in the corner. 
(Cyril again tries to make his way towards door L. At 
this inoment GRACE turns, comes towards him, he again 
shrinks back, and resumes his seat, she walking round 
him as his chair revolves. Every time Qw.\\.goes to seat 
makes business with seat swinging roujtd) Sir ! listen to 
me, whilst I pour forth the story of my wrongs, whilst I 
show forth this monster to the world, whilst I tear from 

his traitor face the mask that {tears paper away) 

Cyril ! 

Cyril. Grace ! Yes ! I, your outraged husband. 
Oh ! that /should be the witness of your shame. 

Grace. Shame ! 

Cyril. What brings you here ? 

Grace. What brings you here ? 

Cyril. I tracked your footsteps. 

Grace. You were here before I came. 

Cyril. Yes ! I tracked your footsteps before you 
came, {crosses L.) I mean 

Grace. What brings you here ? 

Cyril. Nothing ! {loud) 

Grace. Nothing ? {very loud) ' 

Cyril. Hush ! {pointing to door) Take care. 

Grace. What is it ? 



SIX AND EIGHTPENCE. 7 

Cyril. There's a man behind that door. Whisper ! 

Grace, [whispering) What brings you here ? 

Cyril, {whispering) Nothing particular. 

Grace. Why don't you answer ? 

Cyril. Because — because — I demand an explanation 
— why do I find you here, pouring out your private grudges 
to a stranger ? I mean a — a — comparative stranger ! 
What are you doing at Mr. Crook's ? 

Grace. Nothing that concerns you. 

Cyril. Nothing ! Great Heavens ! (aloud. Cross- 
ing R.) 

Grace. Hush ! {poi7iting to door) Take care ! 

Cyril. What is it ? {they resume the whisper) 

Grace. There's a man behind that door. Whisper ! 

Cyril. Great Heavens ! why are you here ? 

Grace. I came to consult a lawyer about obtaining a 
separation. 

Cyril. What ! You too ? 

Grace. Ah ! 

Cyril, (aside) Hallo ! I've let t!ie cat out of the 
bag. 

Grace. Oh, then we are both here on the same errand. 
Oh, that's very nice. 

Cyril. Yes, delightful ! {she hums. Both si7tg, 
Grace gets annoyed) 

Grace. Oh ! don't, don't, Cyril ! 

Cyril. Grace ! Grace, dear, since we are both of the 
same mind./i^r once, don't you think we can settle the 
matter in a friendly way, without scandal, and without 
lawyers' fees ? Let's — let's hush it up. {coaxingly, after 
a pause) 

Grace, {indignant) Hush it up! No! Scandal and 
lawyers' fees are just what I want. I'll get myself talked 
about, just to spite you. I'll be photographed in all the 
shop windows. I'll go upon the stage. I'll be a witness 
in a witness box. I'll be as notorious as ever I can. I'll 
be — I'll be a professional beauty ! {s>nirks) 

Cyril. A professional beauty ! {sjieers) 

Grace. Yes, that's better that being an amateur beast. 

Cyril. A what ? 

Grace. A beast, {loud) 

Cyril. Hush ! 

Grace. What ? (Cyril points to door R.) A beast, 
a beast, a beast ! {in his ear) 



8 SIX AND EIGHTPENCE. 

Cyril. Take care ! Anything you say may be taken 
down in evidence against you. 

Grace, {looking through door, sneers) Oh ! he's 
fast asleep ; he snores. 

Cyril. Happy, happy man, he snores ! {sits) He 
sleeps ; he's evidently unmarried. 

Grace. Do you envy him ? 

Cyril. Envy him ! Is not his soul at rest ? 

Grace. You, too, soon shall snore in peace. 

Cyril. Yes, yes ! {in ecstasy) 

Grace. I shall not trouble you much longer, {in a 
rage) 

Cyril. No, no. {with unction) 

Grace. Monster ! 

Cyril. Angel ! 

Grace. You shall soon be free ! 

Cyril. Yes, as free as Crook can make me. 

Grace. Crook ! He's my lawyer. 

Cyril. No, mine ! {loud, rises) 

Grace. No, mine ! {lojcder, rises. Business ad lib. 
till both pull up, pointing to the door and saying) 

Both. Hush ! 

Grace. I shall not give up Mr. Crook. 

Cyril. You shall : first come, first served. 

Grace. I beg your pardon, ladies first, always. 

Cyril. No, I demand obedience. Obedience is the 
first law of — of nature. Did you not swear to love, honor, 
and obey me at the altar ? 

Grace. No, thank Heaven, we were married at the 
Registrar's. 

Cyril. But my right remains. I have been meaning 
to come here for over a week. 

Grace. And I, for over a month. 

Cyril. You'll tell me next that you meant to come 
the day after our wedding. 

Grace. So I did, the day before. 

Cyril. Confound the woman ! 

Grace, {after a pause and very coa.xingly) Cyril 
dear ! [goes to hifn) 

Cyril. Grace ! 

Grace. Don't, don't let us quarrel on such a subject 
as this, my love, {g'^l^' behind him and strokes his 
hair) 

Cyril. As you please, my darling. 



SIX AND EIGHTPENCE, 9 

Grace, {^putting her arm round Ms neck) Time was 
when Grace's will was Cyril's law. 

Cyril. Don't do that, or I won't answer for the con- 
sequences ! 

Grace. That time was very, very sweet, no doubt. 
{changes from sweetness to rage agaiji, and sidling up 
to door) But business is business, and I will see Mr. 
Crook first. 

Cyril. You shall not. (rises and crosses to door 
c.) 

Grace. I shall. 

Cyril. I'm nearest the door, and here I stay. You'll 
have to walk over my dead body first, {at door. Ver- 
bal struggle ad lib.) 

Grace. Oh ! I see that moral persuasion is useless, 
so I'll try physical violence, {taps him on cheek lightly. 
Mr. Crook enters c. D. They seise him, and take hint 
doiun stage backwards, and force him on cha{r at his 
entrance. Grace and Cyril rapidly get their own 
chairs and sit, Cyril R. and Grace L.) Mr. Crook ! 
{They are both quite close to the latvyer) 

Cyril. I beg your pardon, sir ! You witnessed that 
assault ! A regular case of assault and battery and 
cruelty. You will not hesitate to undertake my case ? 

Grace. Mr. Crook saw nothing at all. 

Cyril. I tell you he did. 

Grace. He says he didn't. (Crook rises to go) 

Cyril, {forces Crook down) Be calm ! there is the 
fact ! — the door opened, and Mr. Crook came in just as I 
was reeling across the room under your violent blow. 
It's a clear case of assault and battery — my cheek is 
swelling visibly. Look at it ! 

Grace. Don't look at it, sir. {both take Crook's 
hands, CYRIL objecting to this familiarity on the part 
of his wife) 

Cyril. I shall subpoena you as a witness. 

Grace. Oh ! you're a boor. 

Cyril. A what ? 

Grace. A B-O-O-R— B double O R. 

Cyril. There, Mr. Crook, you hear ! Just think, Mr. 
Crook, that lady is my wife. 

Grace. And that — ahem ! — gentleman is my husband. 
{every time GRACE is coaxing the lawyer, Cyril looks 
indignant through his eyeglass) 



lo SIX AND EIGHTPENCE. 

Cyril. What have I done to deserve such a visitation 
of Providence ? 

Grace. Why was it decreed that I should suffer so ? 
{tliey both sit on either side of Mr. Crook) 

Cyril. I loved her, as a lover only can. 

Grace. And at first i lov — well, I didn't mind him 
much. 

Cyril. But I've repented in sackcloth and ashes. 

Grace. And I've repented in sackcloth and ashes. 
{tJiis through sobs) 

Cyril. And so I've come 

Grace. To get a separation. 

Cyril. Make me a bachelor, a widower, a co-respond- 
ent, and I will bless you with my latest breath, (i-ises) 

Grace. Oh ! to be a spinster, once more. (Crook 
rises to go, tJiey forc^ him down) 

Cyril. Allow me to explain. 

Grace. I beg your pardon. 

Cyril. 'Twas in prime of summer time. 

(jRACE. The first of December. 

Cyril. An evening calm and cool (Crook rises 

to go) Be calm and cool. {^Here a verbal struggle en- 
sues. Both talk loudly together, telling their story ad 
lib.) After you. 

Grace. No, after you. {Jicre again a 7jerbal struggle) 

Cyril. Be calm. (Crook rises) You see the case is 
as clear as daylight. 

Grace. So that's the reason why 

Cyril. You see us two here — and this is the bitter 
end of a bliss that I thought would only be buried in the 
grave. 

Grace. I scarcely know what first obscured the light 
of our honevmoon. 

Cyril. Tne fact is 

Grace. In one— one word. 

Cyril. I hate double acrostics, 

Grace. I abhor cigarettes. 

Cyril. My complaint is this. From the hour that 
this woman took to answering double acrostics in the 
society journals^ — 

Grace. From the time he took to smoking cigarettes 
from morning to night 

Cyril. I haven't known a moment's peace. 

Grace. My life has been one perpetual torment. 



SIX AND EIGHTPENCE. ll 

Cyril. When I come home tired out with my hard 
evening's stroll in the park, she meets me on the door- 
step 

Grace. With a cigarette in his mouth. 

Cyril. She cries out, " I\Iy first is a Roman Emperor ! " 

Grace. Nero ! 

Cyril. " My second is a vegetable poison ! " 

Grace. Nicotine. 

Cyril. " My third is a favorite sweetmeat ! " 

Grace. Jumbles, or chocolates. 

Cyril. There, you see. In fact, she makes my life 
one long unsolved double acrostic. 

Grace. His role is one long cigarette. 

Cyril. Why should she object to the weed which 
cheers but does not inebriate ? 

Grace. Why should he object to the harmless, neces- 
sary double acrostic ? Why, I might support myself on 
the earnings 

Cyril. But you don't support yourself ; on the contrary 
I am deluged for subscriptions to all the magazines, and 
in despair I rush from the house. 

Grace, {reaches across excitedly and knocks Cyril 
down) That's desertion, before he took to smoking 
cigarettes. 

Cyril. Before she threw me over for double acrostics, 
I swear I made her wishes my law. 

Grace. Who would have thought our love would have 
ended in smoke ? 

Cyril. Who would have thought that our feather bed 
of roses would have withered so soon ? {shaking hands 
with Crook) 

Grace. Alas ! (Crook has red handkerchief in 
breast pocket. GRACE cries, takes Crook's handkerchief 
and wipes her eyes in her despair) 

Cyril. Well, sir ! [rises) What have you to say for 
yourself? You can surely not see that poor woman weep- 
ing, when, when, when I say — have you no word of 
sympathy ? — she comes to you for advice, for comfort, she 
pays you your legal fee, and you sit there with your stony 
stare like a carved monkey. Well, sir, what have you to 
say for yourself? — A pure woman whose only fault is 
double acrostics, {weeps) 

Grace. Oh, sir, have you no pity ? See, his great 
heart is bursting ! 

LofC. 



12 SIX AND EIGHTPENCE. 

Cyril. Shall he part us ? - 

Both. Never, never, never ! (rush itiio each other's 
arms) 

Grace, {goes to Crook) How dare you come be- 
tween husband and wife ? 

Cyril. How dare you seek to trample down the 
sacred tie that unites us — :to sow discord between two 
loving hearts ? [comfort one another aiid -wipe one 
anotlier's eyes) 

Grace. Shall he part us for a miserable cigarette ? 

Cyril. Shall he blight two lives for the sake of a pal- 
try double acrostic ? Never, never, never ! [ttcrns vic- 
iously to CrooK) Oh, miserable huckster ! 

Grace. Oh, you mean grubbing trickster ! My 
darling, I, myself, will roll your cigarettes. 

Cyril. I have found an object in life at last, I can 
answer double acrostics in the magazines. 

Grace, [sneering and scowling at Crook) Let us 
leave his hard, unsympathetic presence, {takes him to 
L. towards door) 

Cyril. Yes, let us no longer listen to his insidious 
arguments, {cross to L.) But how about his fee ? 

Grace. How much is it ? 

Cyril. Six and eight, I think. (Crook is once more 
dosing) 

Grace. What, each ? That's a good deal, {very 
crossly) 

Cyril. Oh no, it's only one consultation. Husband 
and wife are one. 

Grace. Oh, you settle it then, my darling, {sweetly) 

Cyril. Oh no ! You pay half. 

Grace. Why should I ? 

Cyril, Married Woman's Property Act. (Both biisi- 
ness finding change) I know I had a threepenny piece 
for collection on Sunday. 

Grace. Bother that Married Woman's Property Act. 

Cyril. That's three and fourpence each. (GRACE 
calmly takes shilling out </ Cyril's hand while he is 
counting cash) I have not enough. I am twopence 
short, {they can't make things right, but at last Grace 
discovers two postage stamps which she holds %ip) 

Grace. Well, here are two stamps, {they both go 
towards Crook, one on each side, giving him fee) 

Both, {ifi broken voices) Thank you, sir. 



SIX AND EIGHTPENCE, 13 

Cyril. Thank you for your valuable advice — but for 
you 

Grace. Accept a wife's blessing-. 

Cyril. Your simple eloquence has touched my heart. 

Grace. You have lured me back to happiness. Good- 
bye ! Good-bye ! 

Cyril. Heaven reward you. {tJiey are going) It 
was all my fault, my darling ! 

Grace. No, mine ! 

Cyril. Mine, mine ! {7>erbal struggle. Bits, ad lib. 
quarrelling ; suddenly they recollect themselves a^id 
turn again to Crook) 

Both, {fingers oji lips) Hush ! Farewell ! Fare- 
well forever, [exeunt embracing and talki7ig) 

Lawyer. We shall meet again ! 

CURTAIN.
